Prescribing An Epidemic

In this episode of Recovery Radio, Zach is joined by Ted Chan, the CEO of CareDash, a patient review and transparency site for healthcare organizations to discuss the opioid epidemic and the struggles faced by opioid addiction. Ted shares the results of a recent study by CareDash that focused on the connection between Pharmaceutical companies and the rate at which doctors prescribe opioids. In today’s Recovery Radio podcast, Ted and Zach discuss the results of this study and how it affects the way we view the opioid epidemic. Following Ted Chan, Zach is joined by Tara Bevans, a registered nurse with over 29 years experience, and a vast clinical background including acute detox and psychiatric nursing. Tara explains some of the challenges of treating patients who have overdosed or those detoxing from drugs in a hospital setting and how it compares to an inpatient recovery center.
